"To be agents of change in the lives of people. To lift up the fallen. To encourage the failing. To strengthen the weak. To provide a gentle push to the timid. To evidence kindness, concern, caring. To bring out the best in people. To set persons free to be all that they can be." -- Ray Jennings

Our Pastor, Greg Ledbetter, was the 2007 recipient of the Edward H. Rhoades Urban Ministry Award given by National Ministries of the American Baptist Churches, USA. The award was presented at the ABC Biennial Convention in Washington, D.C. in June 2007.

An email from Pastor Greg Ledbetter tells of his experiences on a journey to Israel/Palestine and Corsica in the summer of 2004. Many of these experiences and those of the church are reflected on the photo montage page of this website.
